Powerful Army and Air Force

At the mouth of the Yellow River, because the Yellow River water carries a large amount of mud and sand, it directly forms a plain of hundreds of square kilometers at the mouth of the Yellow River. However, because the land has too high sand content, these hundreds of square kilometers of land are not suitable for crop growth. Of course, Li Guosheng will not throw away such a good piece of plain land in vain, leaving him deserted.

After continuous research and analysis, this hundreds of square kilometers of land was directly classified as the training ground for the Air Force and Armored Forces of the Ninth Group under the Ninth Group.

A deafening engine roar sounded from the training ground not far away, and immediately afterwards, the land where Li Guosheng stood began to tremble slightly.

Commander-in-chief Li Guosheng quickly raised his telescope and looked in the direction of the sound.

More than 30 steel monsters were lined up with arrow-shaped tanks to attack the formation, and in an unstoppable manner, they attacked the target area several kilometers away.

15 kilometers... When dozens of tanks were still more than a thousand meters away from the target position, a sound of shelling shaking began to sound on the battlefield. More than 30 tanks and more than 30 75mm caliber tank guns all roared and began to fire shells at the target position.

The sound of shell explosion sounded, and the strong smoke from the shell explosion instantly covered various targets standing in the target area. Round after round, more than 30 tanks poured more than 200 shells into the target before the shell was stopped. Then, with the roar of the tank engine, we continued to move forward...

At this moment, most of the target positions, which were baptized by more than 200 tank guns and shells, were hit by the devastating blows of these shells. Only a few broken targets were left, and they were still standing alone in the position.

However, the long-range artillery attack just now was just the first round of fire strikes of the tank cluster.

More than 30 tanks, after advancing hundreds of meters again, the remaining targets located in the target area of ​​the attack have clearly appeared in the eyes of all tank gun gunners.

Aim, load, fire... After a series of dazzling actions, one tank cannon roared again. However, this shelling was no longer covered by the blind artillery fire just now, but aimed at the remaining targets of the attack position and carried out accurate artillery fire strikes.

The huge tank cluster only fired two rounds of shells, and the target attack positions. All targets visible to the naked eye were all devastatingly attacked and turned into ruins. At this moment, more than 30 tanks that stopped shelling had sounded again with a roar of engines. They advanced towards the intended target with an unstoppable momentum.

In a blink of an eye, more than 30 medium-sized tanks advanced hundreds of meters away. The target position, which was attacked by two consecutive rounds of tank guns, was blown into ruins, just entered the range of the tank's heavy machine gun...

Each tank is located at the top of the turret. It has a heavy-duty machine gun installed on both sides of the tank gun, and it also emits a harsh machine gun.

In just a blink of an eye, more than 30 tanks shot out hundreds of hot flame tongues at the target position. Among these hundreds of flame tongues, the thick flame tongue shot by the high-level and large-caliber machine gun at the top of the turret was particularly eye-catching. Wherever the flame tongue went, the positions several hundred meters away were all hit by dust. Of course, the targets blocked in front of the flame tongue were all beaten to pieces by the rain of bullets.

Under the crazy strafing of a flame tongue almost every meter, more than 30 tanks quickly swept towards the target position like a giant bulldozer.

More than 30 tanks, with an unstoppable momentum, took the target position in just five minutes. The entire attack process was as clean as if it had been drilled in advance. Li Guosheng and others couldn't help but feel excited.

Sun Liren, the commander of the Armored Division, faced with Li Guosheng, Jiang Baili's face, said in a very timely manner: "Chief, the seat, the tank unit in front of him belongs to the first battalion of the Armored Division's Medium Tank Regiment. The entire battalion is equipped with 40 medium tanks developed and produced by the Yiyuan Military Industry Group... As for the purpose of this live-fire training just now, it is to test the tank camp's position offensive and defensive combat capabilities. Judging from the effect of the drill just now: this tank battalion already has the ability to fight one battle. However, in real tanks and tank battles, they still have some shortcomings. After all, since they learned to drive tanks, they have not yet achieved the ability to respond at any time on the battlefield after less than three months..."

Thinking of the time when he was training a real tank soldier in later generations for several years, Li Guosheng immediately showed a very satisfied expression on his face. He sighed to Sun Liren: "Team Commander Sun, in three months, it is beyond my imagination to train a group of new soldiers who have no idea what tanks are to be such elite soldiers. Here, don't underestimate yourself..."

Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, as a soldier who had studied in Germany, admired the strong combat effectiveness and well-trained German Army. Now, from the armored troops in front of him, Jiang Baili actually saw the shadow of the German Army. As soon as Li Guosheng finished speaking, Jiang Baili followed closely and spoke in admiration.

"Teacher Sun, the chief officer is right. The ability to train a group of recruits without any skills to become so elite in a short period of time is enough to show the great effort you put into the armored division. Although I don't know how you train the troops, I have already vaguely seen some shadows of German tank troops from these tank troops..."

Commander Sun Liren quickly said modestly: "The chief officer, the chief officer, all of which are from the German army, and the instructors are the merits of the instructors, and the humble position is just to assist from the side... If the chief officer had not hired hundreds of German instructors from Germany to the armored division for training, the armored division would not have made such rapid progress... "

Speaking of this, Sun Liren suddenly thought of something and spoke to Li Guosheng: "Master, according to your latest instructions, the Armored Division has started joint training between the air force, infantry and tank soldiers a month ago. After a month of running-in, the cooperation between several troops can be achieved. Look. Do you want to go and have a look now..."

Since the armored troops and air force gradually formed combat effectiveness, Li Guosheng began to see the scene of joint combat between land and air forces in later generations. He imagined one day when his troops could also carry out high-tech and high-level three-dimensional combat.

Among all the generals under his command, only Sun Liren had contact with this knowledge. Therefore, the task of training the troops to fight in three-dimensionally fell on Sun Liren.

In order to achieve the best cooperation between various arms, an aviation regiment of the Air Force and a guard regiment of the Army were directly divided from the original troops under the order of Li Guosheng and incorporated into the armored division to facilitate Sun Liren to carry out this training.

Suddenly, he heard that the three-dimensional combat that he had longed for had begun to be trained and formed a scale. A hint of surprise flashed across Li Guosheng's face. He spoke frankly at Sun Liren and said bluntly: "Of course, the three-dimensional combat of the joint land and air forces is the direction of future war development. We will shorten the distance from a strong army earlier. Why are we still standing there? Take us to see your training results immediately..."

"Yes, the chief seat..." Under Sun Liren's arrangement, several jeeps were parked next to several people...

After half an hour of running around, a huge training ground near the Yellow River appeared in everyone's sight.

Sun Liren, who was standing next to Li Guosheng, pointed to a small wood a few kilometers away and said, "Master. In order to understand the three-dimensional combat methods more intuitively, I made a decision without authorization: let several troops conduct a small military exercise in front of us. The target of this military exercise is a small wood a few kilometers away, stationed in a small wood a "Japanese wing". The task of the participating troops is: within half an hour, take down the woods and wipe out all the defenders in the woods..."

In order to allow senior officers of the Ninth Army to understand the importance of armored forces in the future battlefield more intuitively. During this visit, not only Li Guosheng and Jiang Baili, but all the officers at the division level and above in the entire army gathered behind Li Guosheng. Sun Liren's introduction had just been completed, and Commander Wang Guoli, who was standing behind Li Guosheng, asked a question.

"Secretary Sun, it would be a bit too exaggerated to destroy a Japanese infantry corps stationed in the mountains and forests within half an hour? I want to know how many troops the armored division dispatched in total..."

Of course, Sun Liren knew what his colleagues around him were thinking. He nodded without comment and said, "Captain Wang, all the participating troops have a bomber squadron, a light tank battalion, an artillery battalion, and an infantry battalion. The total strength is only one thousand people..."

"Uh... With less than a thousand troops, it's interesting to capture thousands of elite Japanese troops with terrain advantages. Today, I'm going to see how the armored division fought this battle..." Wang Guoli's face showed a disbelief expression and spoke.

At the instructions of General Manager Li Guosheng, Sun Liren did not explain much. After making some arrangements to the subordinates behind him, he spoke to Li Guosheng: "General Manager, I have already arranged it. The whole exercise will start in ten minutes..."

Li Guosheng nodded silently and stopped talking.

As some black spots began to appear a few kilometers away, Li Guosheng, who wanted to understand the specific strength and training process of the troops' three-dimensional combat, had quickly raised his telescope and looked at the battlefield.

In a depression about three kilometers away from the woods, a light tank battalion and an infantry battalion quickly gathered. More than 30 tanks, in units of platoons, quickly formed a steel torrent with a front width of more than 500 meters on the battlefield. As for the infantry of a battalion, they were also scattered behind the tanks in an orderly manner, and prepared for assault.

Time passed minute by minute, and when more than 30 tanks and more than 500 infantry soldiers were all ready for combat, a faint sound of engine roar began to spread from the edge of the sky to everyone's ears.

In the sky south of the battlefield where the exercise is about to be held, a group of 12 "Death" dive bombers are appearing in everyone's sight.

In the blink of an eye, 12 bombers were already flying over the woods.

Under the gaze of dozens of generals with shoulder-bearing generals led by Li Guosheng, a bomber flying over the battlefield seemed to suddenly lose power, and the nose suddenly sank, swooping down to the ground with a harsh whistling sound of breaking through the air.

"What's going on? Is the plane malfunctioning..." Several generals who had not seen the specific bombing scene of the "Death" bomber suddenly turned pale, and they asked subconsciously.

However, after seeing the confident expression on Li Guosheng's face that had never changed, the worry that had just been raised in his heart disappeared immediately. Then, he held up his telescope and stared at the bomber diving from the air, wanting to see clearly what was going on.

As they were getting closer and closer, under the fearful gaze of all the generals, the bombers dived down were less than a hundred meters away from the ground. Two aviation bombs weighing 250 kilograms quickly broke away from the belly of the aircraft. Then, they followed the bomber's dive trajectory, and flew towards the bombing target on the ground with a harsh whistling sound of breaking through the air.

As for the bomber that was close to the ground, it could hit the ground in the blink of an eye, causing the plane to be destroyed and killed. Because two aviation bombs left the plane, the weight of the plane suddenly decreased and trembled directly in the air. Then, he suddenly raised the nose and the entire fuselage. After drawing a beautiful arc in the air, he almost clinged to the ground and rushed into the sky again.

At the same time, two whizzing aviation bombs had already had an intimate contact with the ground bombing target.

"Boom..." Two explosions of earth-shaking mountains sounded, and two balls of huge fireballs soared into the air, with a height of twenty meters quickly appearing in front of everyone. Before everyone could react from the stimulating bombing scene in front of them, two aviation incendiary bombs that exploded quickly sprayed a large amount of combustible substances in the shell into the surrounding area.

The explosion sounded. Two huge fire scenes with a radius of more than twenty meters suddenly rose on the battlefield with the blasting point as the center.

Commander Zhang Zizhong, who has experienced the battle in Xinyizhou, still remembers the powerful power of the incendiary bomb. Now, seeing the aviation incendiary bomb that is more powerful than the incendiary bomb, his face turned pale. He subconsciously asked Sun Liren in front of him: "Teacher Sun..... Airplane, is the incendiary bomb thrown by the plane..."

Sun Liren did not hide it and responded very readily: "Teacher Zhang guessed it well. The plane dropped the incendiary bomb. No incendiary bomb weighed 250 kilograms, and each bomber could carry four incendiary bombs at the same time..."

"If it is a burning bomb, it will not be a problem to take down the Japanese position within half an hour..." Zhang Zizhong, who had just expressed doubts about Sun Liren's confidence, had just expressed doubts. At this moment, there was a thoughtful expression on his face. He said firmly to Sun Liren in front of him.

Although I don’t know why Zhang Zizhong is so sure, Zhang Zizhong’s words did not block everyone’s enthusiasm for the battlefield. Under the gaze of dozens of officers of all sizes, in less than ten minutes, all 48 heavy incendiary bombs carried by 12 bombers hit the woods and exploded.

The group of aircraft slowly left the battlefield with the roar of engines. The artillery battalion, which had been ready to go, followed closely behind and began to roar. One incendiary bomb, with a sharp whistling sound, crossed the sky above the battlefield. Then, they hit the target very accurately. One incendiary bomb after another, continuously strengthening the fire in the woods. Let the fire covering the surface of the position continue to persist.

In the blink of an eye, the ten-minute shelling ended.

At this moment, the forests in a radius of several square kilometers were completely covered by a strong fire and lasted for more than ten minutes. It can be imagined that even a piece of steel plate would be burned into molten iron when the fire lasted for ten minutes. What's more, the Japanese corpse was hidden in the dense forest, composed of flesh and blood.

So, at this moment, although there were still ten minutes left before the time specified by Sun Liren. However, none of the officers standing here doubted whether the attacking troops could take down the high ground in front of them within half an hour.

The sharp whistling of artillery shells had not stopped yet. The tank battalion, which was less than two kilometers away from the target, had already launched a huge attack with hundreds of infantry behind him.

More than 30 tanks lined up in a row, like an unstoppable torrent of steel, quickly swept towards the target position. As for the hundreds of infantry following the tank battalion, they followed behind the tank and trotted to attack the target position closer and closer under the cover of the tank's metal body.

After such a fierce fire strike, there are only a handful of "enemy" who can survive in the woods that have been burned to ruins. In addition, the dense forest where the enemy hides has been destroyed, and the entire position is completely exposed to the tank battalion.

More than 30 tanks almost launched a charge and aimed at the fire. When the entire attack aircraft group was only five hundred meters away from the enemy's position, the enemy's position was completely burned to black by the fire, and there was no longer a surface position.

At this moment, hundreds of heavy machine guns carried by more than 30 tanks rang out in time. The dense bullets, like rain, continued to pour into the enemy positions closer and closer, just like they don't have money.

At the same time, hundreds of infantry soldiers following the tank used the gap between the tanks to continuously shoot and kill all enemies they could see through their naked eyes. At the same time, protect the tanks in front of them, destroy the tanks in front of them, and all enemies who dared to approach the tanks...

At this moment, if you look down from the air, you can discover that the entire attack formation is like a meat grinder that can move and constantly harvest the enemy's lives, devouring all the enemy's lives that dare to block in front of you.
